Twilight

TWILIGHT When the twilight of your years is here And the sky is only starlit Think only this of one who loved you dear How many times I used to sit And read you tales of times gone by Or show you clouds as dale and hill The limit was beyond the sky The empty void was yours to fill Did you fill it with all your heart And not regret the chance you took? If you did, though heaven falls apart, Life’s evening closes not the book.
